Love as a Verb

Have you ever just felt so full of love that you could burst? Like, literally feel like part of you could pop? Well I get that way. I'm that way at this very moment actually. And yes, part of it is because I just got home from an amazing trip to see my fiance, and of course I am "so in love."

And part of it is because I am a pretty loving person....the type that wears my heart right on my sleeve. I work in an office and it is very common to walk through those doors and find me with big 'ol crocodile tears at my desk. Tears of joy! haha (I remember in highschool I went to Girls State and CRIED one day in the cafeteria because I was just having so much fun!)

But another part of it is hard to describe. It is in this sense that that feeling of "love" has to take on a verb tense, because it literally feels like it is in action inside of me. This is where the "I'm gonna burst" feeling comes in. I don't know whether to cry, to laugh, or to talk about it! I think this feeling comes from God, the true romantic and biggest sucker for love there ever was. I think this love--that is inside each of us--transcends feelings of "in love" and feelings of "loving" a friend. It is a call to action. The ability to get you through hard times, the ability to cover wrong doings, the root of forgiveness, the spark for happiness. Love in its truest form is the most powerful verb on the planet.

I would hope that I could live each day with this feeling of urgency and action. (If I can control the tears!) A feeling of "I just have to share it!" I encourage you, and myself, to not try and contain it, but to let it out. Love.
